This looks like the actions of Big Toner. How to spur more sales.

Ah, printers, of course (and other things). I have no idea what my Okidata printer was set up with, I never did printing with anything but an application that did it internally. Yes, disk drives were a luxury item for a while. The big thing was those running the first BBSes who had a pricey, enormous 20 MB hard drive.

I started with “,1,1”. I never found a reason why they went from 1 for cassette to 8-15 for disk. Must have been a bit indicator thing.

I thought it was called “Christmas of elves”, not swarm.

The response to “what are you trying to hide” is always “WTF do you need to see so badly?”

gets us to invest in cold fusion

I don’t doubt it.

Some of us remember that pipe dream the first time around.

He does like kids, so there’s some substance there.

Doing a lot of anything for most at that age is taxing, but he’s not doing the job other modern Presidents have done, by far. Any worry or anxiety he has is all about helping himself out, nothing to do with the country. I hope it’s not a very long time, but I do hope it’s a slow, painful burn on the way down. We need a bit of karma right now.

Water is wet. The sky is blue. Space is cold. None of these are as true as their phrase implies, as there’s a lot of technicality involved.

Trump is a liar. Solid truth. No deviation there.

We have most of them picking job security vs. asking the hard questions, and when a few do ask something beyond what’s expected from the officials we call them “brave”. All of them should be doing this.

Some of them from some networks are playing the game because they profit from it, which is a problem as well.

Because the news is that some Republicans acted like they wanted to help people.

When it stops working.

The law protects them, however a law that isn’t enforced or observed by officials is pretty useless. Ideally you would go along with the wrongly arresting officer to fight it in court, but when they are doing whatever they want, if you don’t fight back at the start you could end up anywhere and in any condition. The only good thing is that so far they don’t expect resistance, they count on people being scared. Resist. If you see someone in trouble, do something. It’s apathy that helps this spread.

Get rid of coveting, you’re undone much of what drives capitalism. That’s a good thing, but it also ruins our society that is dependent on it.

I’m just on FB for the Messenger, maximized to ignore the rest, since they make it all but impossible to use their network with third parties. Hmmm, sounds like Reddit now that I think about it, but FB did that move first. The hardest part of changing social media or any communications is getting the ones you want to stay connected with to use better alternatives. Again with the Reddit comparison, but look at how many stick with that still rather than branching out to a new thing like Lemmy. Or encrypted email.

But I agree with the title suggestion, any immersion of a single thing is damaging, and social media is by its nature and design addictive. If you can’t control your intake, you should avoid what you can altogether.

We’ll find a remote island somewhere and name it Karma.

I’m going to take this from a different angle. These companies have over the years scraped everything they could get their hands on to build their models, and given the volume, most of that is unlikely to have been vetted well, if at all. So they’ve been poisoning the LLMs themselves in the rush to get the best thing out there before others do, and that’s why we get the shit we get in the middle of some amazing achievements. The very fact that they’ve been growing these models not with cultivation principles but with guardrails says everything about the core source’s tainted condition.

I seem to remember “slam” in wrestling meaning a bit more than weak pondering.

I agree with your stance, but would caution others outside the US to use us as warning to themselves, because this isn’t an American thing, we’re just the current train wreck. This is a human thing that’s repeated in various ways again and again, and we should really do better than this. I don’t know if it’s too late for us in the US, but pay attention to your own houses, everyone else.

I simply forget. I’ve always thought that commenting should be an automatic upvote (and maybe when it comes to filtering it does, more comments ranking higher).
